EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable high relief artwork depicting a figure in the act of benedicting. The masterpiece is proudly displayed on the façade of the Church of S. Jacopo Maggiore, located in Altopascio. This Romanesque treasure dates back to the XIII-XIV centuries, showcasing its enduring significance throughout Europe during the Middle Ages. The subject matter depicted within this high relief encompasses various symbolic elements and abstract concepts. The central focus lies on a male saint, his face exuding serenity as he performs the sacred gesture of benediction. Clutched in his hand is an instrument that further emphasizes his divine role within Christian religion. Surrounding this holy figure are intricate details that enhance both aesthetic appeal and allegorical meaning. A book, symbolizing knowledge and wisdom, rests at his feet while delicate flowers and vegetal elements add a touch of natural beauty to the composition. The craftsmanship evident in this artwork exemplifies the skillful execution characteristic of brierromanesque art from medieval Europe. Its creation during the first and second millenniums A. D. , showcases its historical significance as well as its cultural impact on society at that time. Captured by Alinari Fratelli's lens in 1933, this photograph preserves not only an exquisite work of art but also serves as a testament to humanity's artistic achievements across centuries. It invites viewers to appreciate both religious devotion and artistic expression intertwined harmoniously within one magnificent piece.
